  • Connect with BC universities, colleges, school districts, and language schools and engage in targeted business-to-business (B2B) meetings.
  • Foster partnerships through formal and informal networking opportunities including the Global Partnerships Reception.
  • Explore emerging trends, strategic priorities, and opportunities shaping international higher education.
  • Engage with government leaders and sector representatives from BC and around the world.

Additional Programming and Expectations

Subject to availability, a representative from the BC Council for International Education (BCCIE) will be available to support international delegations with additional side programming before and after the conference, including familiarization (FAM) tours.
